Pioneer Elite Home Theater Speakers Bring Reality Home.

Designed by world-renowned speaker engineer Andrew Jones, the Elite Home Theater Speaker System employ state-of-the-surround-art Dolby Atmos® technology which literally elevates your surround-sound system to new heights.

Imagine expanding your sonic landscape, creating a true 3D, multi-dimensional space that puts you inside the listening experience! These Elite Home Theater Speakers will change the way you listen, and the proof is in the hearing. Elite Home Theater Speakers powered by Pioneer s latest Elite AV receivers designed with Dolby Atmos in mind make theatrical releases created in Dolby Atmos come alive with power and presence like never before. Dolby Atmos brings new life to traditional soundtracks and music too, putting sounds into motion and reproducing the full impact of the artist s work.

The Elite Floorstanding Speakers are designed to be the heart of your stereo or home theater system. These towers deliver big sound with a small footprint, and are engineered to be tall, but not wide or deep, for easy placement and precise imaging when you re sitting or standing. A true three-way design, the system uses not one, but three identical woofers, stacked vertically. With shimmering highs, detailed midrange and truly authoritative bottom end, these speakers deliver Elite Sound and Dolby Atmos technology for an experience far exceeding their price.

A Once-in-a-Decade Breakthrough.

A Pioneer product has to be special to carry the Elite name, and the latest Elite Home Theater Speakers are just that. From the brilliant mind of Andrew Jones Pioneer s and TAD s Chief Speaker Engineer these are the first cabinet speakers bearing the Elite brand in more than a decade. They are designed to take advantage of advancements in engineering, transducer technology and of course, groundbreaking Dolby Atmos sound.

Value Exceeded Only by Performance.

Delivering a sound experience far exceeding their price, the Elite Home Theater Speakers have been designed as a complete system for Dolby Atmos. Together, they offer an unbeatable value-to-performance ratio for putting together a high-performance 5.1.4-channel surround sound system.

Its Concentric Driver Hits the Spot.

At the heart of the Elite Home Theater Speaker System is the CST (Coherent Source Transducer), a revelation in accurate sound. This driver dramatically reduces interference between the midrange and tweeter, precisely controlling sound directivity at all frequencies and ensuring that direct and reflected sound arrive at the listening position with identical timing and timbre. It does this with a 1-inch tweeter positioned centrally at the apex of the 4-inch midrange drive unit. Unlike a coaxial driver, which positions its high-frequency driver further forward of a larger cone, the CST concentric design eliminates audible time domain errors that cannot be avoided when drivers are not aligned on the same axial or vertical plane. Such distortion that is normally readily apparent but is virtually eliminated in the sophisticated, proprietary CST used in the Elite Home Theater Speaker range.

The 1-inch soft-dome tweeter delivers smooth, extended response, positioned in the center of an aluminum midrange cone that exhibits true pistonic action and eliminates break-up modes within its range of operation. Cone profile is optimized for both midrange performance and wave-guide directivity. A matching horn around the tweeter seamlessly integrates both drivers and creates a continuous surface for the expansion of sound waves. Driving both transducers are dual Neodymium magnets that provide powerful and stable flux fields in their gaps. The midrange cone terminates in a double-roll surround designed to minimize wave front disruption while also allowing maximum excursion of the midrange cone.

Special Drivers for Dolby Atmos.

Of course, even the best speakers can t create the startling realism and holographic sense of height and air of a Dolby Atmos recording or soundtrack, unless they re engineered specifically for the task. That s why both floorstanding and bookshelf Elite Home Theater Speakers are equipped with a vertically-firing Dolby Atmos-enabled driver. To maximize the performance capabilities of Dolby Atmos, the Elite Home Theater Speakers utilize Pioneer s high-performance two-way CST to achieve the highest performance for the most accurate, uniform sound.

Attention to Details Makes the Difference.

The Elite Home Theater Speakers include such details as Gold-plated connectors and multi-element, complex crossovers. Cabinets of floorstanding, bookshelf and center-channel speakers are designed with gently curved sides to eliminate standing waves encountered in typical square-box designs. The CST driver is mounted in its own individual enclosure, isolating it from the pressure waves in the main enclosure. The black-finished cabinet integrates perfectly with contemporary and traditional interiors, while a small footprint allows flexible placement in the room.
